talk random

So today is Bill Gates last day (of on the job day to day operations). I found these to be rather funny and amusing.

[]Bill Gates’ Last Days - CES 2008
[]But this is my favorite - Letterman’s tribute to Bill Gates and Microsoft
[*]For prosperity’s sake - Bill Gates on Apple Computers

So long Bill, start spending that money man! :thumb:

The one back during CES is definitely the best one. He better have fun and not sit in front of a computer all day.

See you at the next Bilderberger conference, Bill! Hope my bullhorn is loud enough for you to hear it. :smirk2:

People can say what they will about Microsoft, Windows and the ‘theft’ of DOS.

Bill Gates is and has always been a visionary that did incredible things for the home computer technology.

Nothing but respect for that guy from me.

Me too, now after seeing him make fun of himself in the CES 2008 video. :wink:

Oh, no one in this thread, but a lot of people outside it.

Yeah that CES video made me like him a lot more. It’s just so nerdy. Can’t really imagine steve jobs doing something like that.

Happy retirement you rich bastard!

I hope he clean up the mess we all leave behind hahah.

great video

11

you all should have watched the CES 2008 keynote live…it changed my life.

Microsofts’ new slogan: DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS

But seriously Gates is the man and I’m excited to see what he’ll do with his foundation.

13

I was very pleasantly surprised when Engadget had a huge go-away post stravaganza for Bill…

and then very disappointed when all Wired could do is pick at him…Wired lost a few points for their immaturity in that article. I mean, pick on Vista when your supposed to be saying goodbye is just…

Even though what Wired is *****ing about is true and all…IMO that’s the wrong article to ***** about him in.

Exactly.

Heh, even this BBC article IMO is a little dry…

I guess this is the way the world works. The more people who hate you, the more influential you are. Weird.

Oh Goody! Now He`s gna Pass it on to me ! Weee…
